photoartflightCedar Waxwing Dining on Insects
I was cleaning up old backup hard drives and found this series of images of a Cedar Waxwing dining on insects caught in a web under a branch. This was many, many years ago early in the morning. I was using a Canon 1D mkIII with a 400mm Canon DO lens and a flash with a Better Beamer Flash Extender to fill in the dark areas. I was on an observation platform and the Cedar Waxwing was almost level with me as I was photographing the waxwing. It is amazing how much better our digital cameras are now compared to the early days!

The pictures still works, especially with that Bird.

I bet there was an unhappy spider, lol. Unique shots, Reed!
Thanks Donna! It was handy that the observation platform was almost at the same level as the Waxwing!
